Great class!

good

I am of 2 minds when reviewing this course. It is NOT for total beginners, but for those after a few such courses. It isn't easy, just quizzes & you're done. NOPE.

PROS: coding demonstration videos of about 30mins each - this is brilliant, as I can code along. This feature is actually a rarity among such courses - the first time I see proper coding videos longer than 5-6mins.

CONS:

- majority of lecture videos are extremely short (less than 1 minute) and thus they do not explain a great deal.

- Also, a guy reads verbatim what is written on slides - well, I can do that myself, can't I?

- coding assignments are QUITE difficult, test cases fail due to some internal bugs in automated cases (which obviously I cannot see - but in few cases I had to fix a pre-given code) - PRECISELY BECAUSE not much is explained in too-short lectures!!!

Overally, and despite the cons, this course is well worth the time - it forces you to think, re-analyse and experiment with already written code.

The course content is good. But instead of codio, if you implement Peer Review system it will be very useful to all. In case, instead of codio, if the students are assigned Java program and asked to submit with in the dead line, it will be a Good opportunity for learning Java for all. Because codio system will reduce number of passing students. Simple Quiz and Peer Review process is enough. This is my humble suggestion.

A lot of people are complaining about issues with Codio - but I really didn't have any of that. There was a glitch in my codio that I asked to get corrected, but it was corrected right away. If anything, having to struggle with codio was a learning process for me. Now I feel like I understand debugging much better.

The programming HW assignments were SUPER helpful. I learned a lot! Thanks!

The course is a very practical introduction to Java - especially when you're already familiar with OOP in Python. The coding demonstration videos are extremely helpful and I learned the most by coding alongside the professor. The course assignments are engaging, despite some minor discrepancies of my local environment and the grading environment which took some debugging time.

Overall a good course. Only in the assignments provided are some errors that prevent you from submitting them. It takes some searching for solutions on the formus, and then correcting THEIR erros before you can submit some of the assignments.

Great course to learn object oriented programming in Java. It was nice that testing was included. Could probably go a little deeper into casting and collections.

Explanation about Object Oriented Programming concepts is Awesome.

4 star for the whole course and -1 for the discussion forum.

Course videos and lecture slides were easy to follow.

Pls fix 2nd assignment.

The Codio pre-submission test errors versus development on Eclipse from having to exclude "package ...;" and having to cast assertEquals(array.get()) are very troubling and unnecessary to debug.

Assignments are also filled with repetitive tasks on trivial concepts. Gradually phasing out such repetitiveness throughout the course would have been nice.

It did not write my name on certificate

hard

If you did 200 + Leetcode, the week 1 and week 2 classes will be too simple for you. I did not learn much. I hope it explains concepts deeper

The teacher does not prep students for the homework assignments. He will tell you the code but not the formulas or examples of the more advanced code before being expected to know how to use it. This was easily one of the worst classes I have ever taken. If you know Java or are familiar with programming you might be fine, but if you don't know programming and expect to learn and understand what you are being taught than I would avoid this course and teacher.

This is a terrible course for beginners. Barely anything is explained, it is just shown to you and it is presented in such a quick way, you will lose track almost immediately. There is barely any initiative to get your brain moving and when there is, like in the first assignment, you are sure to get overwhelmed. No thank you.
